"20/20" about Homeland Security officials meeting in Hawaii
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 08:24 AM by Skinner
Hope this isn't a duplicate but I was watching TV last night and there was a commercial for tonights segment of "20/20" about Homeland Security officials meeting in Hawaii, ostensibly for some kind of Homeland Security business. However, it looks as though they are simply on a junket. I think it's some kind of hidden camera report and the even catch Tom Ridge in the act. From the little they showed in the commercial it didn't look as though much Homeland Security business was being tended to. We'll see.

I reposted message. Look for the subject line re: tonights episode of "20/20".

8. Didn't you know that Hawaii is the only state
to have successfully checked all goods containers coming into the state by land? They had to rush off there to find out how they did it.

21. greatest thread ever
A stealth thread. A secret conversation. Now where the subject line should be it says "view all" so only those prepared to deal honestly with the entire reality we are facing will come here.

Why don't we (with the op's permission) make this the "view all" thread? No sugar-coatings, no rose-colored glasses, no Pollyanna rationalizations, no "the sun will come up tomorrow" idiocy, no "get a grip" and "what are you smoking" comments, no "I wish you people would just stop being so negative" lectures, no "get over it" and no "time to move on" exhortations. Just stop and take a cold, hard, sober look at the situation.

I think that it is time that we view all courageously and unflinchingly.

23. believe me, it ain't pretty
A long time ago in another reality now far far away, Jefferson Starship once sang:
At first I was iridescent,
then I became transparent,
finally (finally) I was absent.

33. The best part about this thread....
Is that the dark forces trolling this site have no idea where to look inside this thread for the real, secret, "view all' button.


We should have thought of this ages ago.
